Based on the community's suggestion, the Milwaukie Arts Committee was created and appointed by Milwaukie City Council in the spring of 2008. The ten-person committee quickly adopted the name "artMOB". This name is an acronym for "Art--Milwaukie on Board". The name also represents the grassroots values of our members. The artMOB works to connect artists with resources and to connect the community with art. The artMOB values being inclusive,involving kids, and inspiring others to explore new ways of thinking.
